blues:Best known for his work with the Elvin Bishop Band in the 1970’s, including the 1976 #4 hit, "Fooled Around and Fell in Love,” Vernazza has played guitar with some of the biggest names in music, from Van Morrison to the Grateful Dead. Vernazza has spent decades on stages big and small around the world, honing his craft and this album is the culmination of that experience. Now more than a decade in to his solo career, his new album, Lions and Thieves, delivers on the promise of a lifetime in music.Ably backed by bassist Jim Reeves, drummer Brian Cantrell and keyboardist Mark Bentley, the album’s 14 tracks cover a lot of ground. Indeed, Vernazza may be considered to be one of the finest blues and slide guitar players going today,but his sound is expansive. As detailed his blues varies, from the sweet soul edge of "Open The Door" to high octane rocker “Jungle,” the latter a sure fire single surely destined to be much covered in the future.While the albums core group are all seasoned veterans, Vernazza also called in a few friends to help in the albums creation, with Elvin Bishop, Charlie Daniels and Albert Lee all contributing to Lions and Thieves.Long time fans will love every second of Lions and Thieves, but anyone who enjoys great blues and rock will need a copy of this album in their collection

folk, Americana, acoustic, rock, psychedelic:(2-CD set) The first Country Joe album with a focus on a group sound since The Fish broke up in '71.

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1955-1966] Billy Maxted is a name one seldom hears when super musicians are mentioned. Yet, he began his playing and arranging with the likes of none other than Red Nichols from 1937 to 1940. He also played and arranged for Ben Pollack, Teddy Powell and Will Bradley. After serving in the Navy, he provided arrangements for Benny Goodman and Claude Thornhill. In 1947 and 1948 he co-led a band with Ray Eberle. In 1961 his swing version of 'Satin Doll' was in the top of the Billboard charts. (Collective Personnel: Chuck Forsythe, Lee Gifford, Sal Pace, Charlie Treager, Sonny Igoe, Dan Tracy, Jack Lesberg, more)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1974-1975] The East Bay City Jazz Band was formed in 1970 by Robin Verdier, pianist, and Walter Schwab, at a time when the New England area was realizing a significant growing interest in Trad Jazz. The leadoff tune, 'London Blues' is a seldom heard tune, in spite of the fact that documents show 59 recordings since it was written in 1923. The second and third tunes showcase the excellent vocal style of Jane Campedelli. From the hard driving arrangement of 'Black Bottom Stomp' to the superb rendition of the blues 'Skit Dat De Dat' this is traditional jazz at its best. (Personnel: George Ryan, Andy Kilgour, Bruce Burrell, Fred Walsh, Robin Verdier, Cal Owen, Chuck Stewart, Art Burns, Jane Campedelli)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1926-1928] The Broadway Bellhops featured some of the most seminal artists of the period, including Red Nichols (trumpet) and Miff Mole (trombone). The Bell Hops came together to produce records for Columbia's budget label, Harmony. Under the leadership of Sam Lanin the Bell Hops formed a unique gathering of some of the most popular and hottest musicians of the time. The Bell Hops came together between recordings with other groups (including Jean Goldkette) and under the leadership of others, such as Ben Selvin and Frankie Trumbauer. (Collective Personnel: Bix Beiderbecke, Red Nichols, Miff Mole, Hymie Farberman, Bill Rank, Don Murray, Frank Trumbauer, Bobby Davis, Joe Venuti, Frank Signorelli, John Cali, Joe Tarto, Vic Burton) (Vocals: a- Billy Jones; b- Harmony Brothers; c- Arthur Fields; d- Irving Kaufman; e- Unknown)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1926-1928] Despite a music career that spanned more than 50 years, surprisingly little is known about bandleader, Joe Candullo. He was a regular on network radio, and he made more than 100 issued recordings. While the majority of his discs were released, from 1926 to 1929, Candullo was still in the studio, as late as 1954 (and possibly later). He was leading a popular orchestra at the Everglades, a restaurant on 46th Street and Broadway, in New York City. It was with this band that Candullo made his first recordings, on February 23, 1926. By April 1927, Joe Candullo and His Everglades Orchestra were making their first radio broadcasts over WMCA, in New York. (Collective Personnel: Red Nichols, Jimmy Dorsey, Jimmy McPartland, Glenn Miller, Mike Mosiello, Nick Farrara, Ray Bauduc, Sylvester Ahola, Irving Kaufman, Fud Livingston, more)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :Max Kaminsky led a long and varied life in jazz, playing at one time or another with the greatest musicians in jazz history. This collection includes Brad Gowans, Pee Wee Russell, Joe Sullivan, Eddie Condon, Al Morgan and George Wettling and more.

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1927-1930] Though widely known for his good looks and athleticism, Bernie Cummins was even more highly regarded for his talent as a bandleader. His many recordings (beginning with Gennett in 1924) and his frequent radio broadcasts made him one of the most recognized bandleaders in the country. His ability to perform popular sweet numbers as effectively as his hot dance tunes made him a favorite among wide audiences, from the 1920s to the 1940s. This collection of recordings has been selected from the best of his Brunswick and Victor sessions, which were released under the name of Bernie Cummins and His Orchestra, Bernie Cummins and His Rose Room Orchestra and Bernie Cummins and His New York Biltmore Orchestra. Together, they echo the same energy and excitement as the radios, running boards and DC-3's that have come to symbolize the era.(Personnel: Paul Roberts, Karl Radlach, Walter Cummins, Paul Blakely)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1940-1955/1963] By October 1939, Joe Sullivan was leading his own band, at Cafe Society, in New York. Sometime after April 1940, he played at Nick's and began a residency at the Famous Door, which lasted until June 1941. Soon afterward, he returned to Cafe Society with a trio and remained there, until 1942. During this same period, he made numerous recordings with his own bands. He also participated in Eddie Condon's "Town Hall" broadcasts and played on several of Condon's Commodore sessions. In the spring of 1943, Sullivan was back in Los Angeles, where he led a band at the Swanee Inn. In 1945, he was featured in a duo with Meade Lux Lewis, at Chicago's Sherman Hotel. In 1951, Joe Sullivan performed on a "Voices of America" broadcast and began touring with Louis Armstrong and His All Stars. In 1952, he participated in several "Doctor Jazz" broadcasts over WMGM. Then, in August 1952, he played his first engagement at Club Hangover, in San Francisco where he settled permanently. (Collective Personnel: Eddie Anderson, Benny Morton, Edmond Hall, Danny Polo, Freddy Green, Henry Turner, Johnny Wells, Billy Taylor Sr., Yank Porter, Pee Wee Russell, Sutty Singleton, Max Kaminsky, Miff Mole, Jack Lesberg, Cutty Cutshall, Jeff Morgan)

BIG BAND, SWING, TRAD JAZZ :[1929-1947] Although it is necessary in any collection of theme songs to include those tunes that immediately come to mind such as Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, etc. we have attempted to include many bands that the casual listener may not recall. Of course the serious collectors of this type of music will know most of these bands. Although, even the serious collector might find the Johnny McGee theme with his excellent trumpet work new to them. Regarding Johnny McGee & His Orchestra, he made thirty two recordings for the Varsity label between February and June of 1940 yet, the Rust discography of American Dance Bands does not mention the band. Lords Discography does show two tune which are probably considered the bands' jazz sides. There is no question this was a quality band. While the Larry Clinton theme Dipsy Doodle, is well known, it is interesting to know that he never recorded the tune, and the broadcast version included here with vocal by Bea Wain, is the only time she ever sang this tune. Ben Pollack's theme, Song of the Islands, heard here, with the superb clarinet solo by Irving Fazola, is actually the recording that first brought the name of Fazola to prominence. Prior to that he was known almost exclusively in the New Orleans area. If you give a close listen the superb style of Fazola, it is easy to hear why he was the major influence on the musician Pete Fountain. One can almost hear Fazola on some of Fountain's popular recordings. Much has been said and written about how Benny Goodman as a leader in breaking down racial barriers in the music business and all of these are legitimate, but we should not forget other white band leaders who even before Goodman were also making giant strides to break the racial barriers. For example, give a listen to the Leo Reichman band theme. This white band chose a superb black trumpet player by the name of Bubber Miley who was feature soloist on many of the bands best recordings. Willie Bryant was not a musician although as a boy attempted to learn the trumpet. He was however, an accomplished dancer and vocalist in addition to being intelligent, witty and debonair. Although not a musician, he formed a band in 1934 for an engagement at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. On his theme heard here, listen for the Teddy Wilson piano and Cozy Cole choke that cymbal.(Artists: a- Van Alexander; b- Don Bestor; c- Will Bradley; d- Willie Bryant' e- Billy Butterfield; f- Bob Chester; g- Larry Clinton; h- Jack Denny; i- Benny Goodman; j- Jerry Gray; k- Mal Hallett; l- Woody Herman; m- Ina Ray Hutton Melodears; n- Isham Jonesl o- Dick Jurgens; p- Hal Kemp; q- Andy Kirk; r- Bert Lown; s- Johnny McGee; t- Glenn Miller; u- Russ Morgan; v- Ben Pollack; w- Joe Reichman; x- Leo Reichman; y- Artie Shaw; z- Chick Webb)

Rock, pop:Big Sale! This all-original, no-2-songs alike, previously unreleased rock album by the Reptile Brothers features frontmen Gregory Leroy Dewey, "Duke Dagreez", Nicholas Q (Not Joe) Dewey & Tim Eschliman: 3 wacky guys from Ohio and their pals during Mill Valley's mid to late 1970s north of San Francisco music scene.

Gospel:French Release, great package with 16-page booklet. Reissue of Columbia sides from 1954-1955. Many of these recordings haven't been available since they were first released on 78s. These recordings were instrumental in launching Mahalia Jackson to international fame. Though she had already been a popular figure on the black gospel circuit for some time, these mid-1950s sessions, with their tight, professional arrangements and high-quality production, were the first to bring her to the attention of white America. Standards such as "Walk All Over God's Heaven," "You'll Never Walk Alone," and "Didn't It Rain," with their simple yet effective piano and organ accompaniment, allow her formidable voice to soar in a way that would soon become familiar to a worldwide audience. Barely Used copy in M- condition. List price new is $21.98

blues, rhythm & blues:Begins a new chapter for Larry as he continues to create music in a voice that has become uniquely his own but at the same time draws directly from the immensely rich American Music Tradition that songwriters and musicians the world over invariably turn to for inspiration. He has had the opportunity to work with Bo Diddley, Eddie Money, Steve Cropper, Big Joe Turner, Mary Wells and Sir Mac Rice (the man that penned "Mustang Sally" and "Respect Yourself"). "A rootsy affair that touches on blues, Tex-Mex, and jazz, former Dynatones' guitarist Dunn delivers wonderfully tailored tunes that manage to highlight his ultra-hip, yet ultra-musical guitar playing. His bluesy, organic phrasing deftly mixes in slick modal flavorings (from Santana to Robben Ford), and his ability to outline a tangy, twisting chord progression- on the album's title track for instance- without going into chromatic la-la land is a real treat, as are his velvety octave licks. Dunn leans on spanky, mildly overdriven single-coil tones for the most part, but the album's last three cuts feature Dunn's formidable acoustic chops. Good tunes and killer playing. What's not to like." -Darrin Fox, Guitar Player Magazine, 4/08

blues:Big Sale! Fillmore Slim has been playing the blues all his life and has become synonymous with the "playa" lifestyle.
